Site Cleanup?

[Mad_As_Hail!]

Since we don't have an Element Hiding Helper in ABP for IE, I can't do my usual things to clean up stray blocks. The site below uses a Adblock detector to shame users, 'You naughty Adblock use you, you're robbing us ... ' Also, the ads are generally blocked, but the backing boxes still appear as blank spaces with borders and backgrounds.

Is there a simple way to clean it up?

Code: Select all

I get no anti adblocking message (IE or firefox) on that main page

Part way down, in a red highlighted box, I see:

"Our system has detected that an AdBlocker is installed in your browser. It is blocking advertisements and possibly other essential functions in our site.

I haven't an account there. Does it happen only logged in by chance ?

[Mad_As_Hail!]

Could be. When I go there using Private mode in SeaMonkey, I don't see it. When I use inPrivate browsing in IE, I see two yellow ads for the same store, The second, smaller yellow ad is where the red block is when logged in.

well, it's not a blocking message.
You need a filter like this

Code: Select all

Even reported at easylist forum I don't think it will be added to the list (it's not blocking the functionality of the forum, right ?)
So, you could use the firefox workaround to add it as "custom filter": forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=40736

or .. just use chrome / firefox + ABP. Much better.

anyway, reported here:

I don't know what the first part of that post means or how to do any of that.

I prefer not to use IE at all, but there is a reason I do for that site. I normally use SeaMonkey with ABP and EHH.
